Abstract

A subdivision of a rectangle into rectangular faces with horizontal and vertical line segments is called a rectangular drawing or floorplan. Yamanaka and Nakano published a (5n - 5)-bit representation of a rectangular drawing, where n is the number of inner rectangles. In this paper, a (4n -4)-bit representation of rectangular drawing is introduced. Moreover, this representation gives an alternative proof that the number of rectangles with n rectangles R (n ) ≤ 13.5 n - 1.
